Dear Ming and all,

Thanks for the reply, Ming.  I really appreciate your help.

I put "video=sisfb:mode:none" in the append part of lilo.conf and it did work 
(back to text mode), but now the computer try to fit more lines than it fits 
in the screen, in the sense that there are lines below what the screen is 
showing.  For instance, if I type "ls -l", some of the entries (and the 
prompt) will be below the visible part of the screen...  Can that be fixed?  
(It did not happen before the update changed to graphic...)

Is there a configuration file for this graphic console?

Thanks,

Luis
